Life Wasn’t Supposed To Feel Like This

You’re juggling a million things—work, family, bills, relationships—and somewhere along the way, you lost your sense of peace. You feel like you're doing everything and yet you're still overwhelmed, anxious, and on edge. Every day feels like a mental marathon just to keep up. You’ve tried a few things: maybe a meditation app, a self-help book, a podcast or two. They were inspiring, sure—but nothing really changed. You’re still waking up in the middle of the night with that pit in your stomach. You still feel like you’re holding your breath, waiting for the next problem to hit.

That’s Where Happy Place Comes In

Led by Dr. Gary Sprouse—known by thousands as The Less Stress Doc—this course gives you a practical, science-backed approach to reducing worry, guilt, regret, and overwhelm. You’ll discover step-by-step tools, powerful mindset shifts, and meaningful ways to reclaim peace, clarity, and confidence in your everyday life. If You’ve Been Trying to Power Through It… You’re Not Alone Let’s be honest. Life gets heavy. And most people carry that weight silently. Maybe you’re like Cindy, a middle-aged woman Dr Sprouse met while she was working at a nursing home rehab center. On the outside, she looked fine. But on the inside? She was drowning. Stressed about her job. Estranged from her kids. Lonely. Broke. Hopeless. And worst of all, she thought she didn’t deserve to feel better. But she did. And so do you. Dr. Sprouse didn’t offer her empty platitudes or tell her to “just be grateful.” He gave her a formula—a structured approach—to quiet the guilt, calm the worry, and start seeing life from a place of clarity. Cindy’s tears didn’t come from sadness. They came from relief. She finally felt heard. Understood. Hopeful. And now, she lives differently. If you’ve ever felt like your emotions were too much, like you just can’t catch a break, or like you’ve lost yourself in the grind of life—this course is for you.

Transform Stress Into Strength — And Find Your Way to Peace

What if you could keep all your amazing human skills—your planning, your empathy, your intuition—and just get rid of the side effects? You know… the fear. The worry. The guilt. The endless “what-ifs.” Dr. Sprouse doesn’t believe in tossing around trendy advice. His method is grounded in decades of clinical practice, real-world results, and a deep understanding of how stress actually works inside your body and mind.
